More real or merely so the dream unfolds...
I touch her hand
she feins with repose..
"do you sir find me of pleasure when only no one my champion near? Of what entreats to you hold so dear?"

Recoiling in my honor I so compose; "Tis the light of a feather the heart of a rose."

“Hippie,single father,HONESTvet”

THESE DAYS

My body forces me to sit,I talk a little less,I try to think of tomorrow NOT what I coulda,woulda,shoulda done,even when restless I remain focused,maybe today possibly tomorrow,always getting it right ,no slouch never a doubt,possibilities are endless when always moving forward,brighter lights need more energy the fuel is often from the soul, concentrations of calculations often leave me lacking the simpler rhythms an easier goal,there can be no detection show no rejection. IT'S FOR THE CHILD

Peace. Rick

When the weary night is fled,
And the morning sky is red,
Then my heart doth rise and say,
`Surely she will come today.'

In the golden blaze of noon,
`Surely she is coming soon.'
In the twilight,`Will she come?'
Then my heart with fear is dumb.

When the night wind in the trees
Plays its mournful melodies,
Then I know my trust is vain,
And she will not come again.

THE END

A haunting memory, living de ja vus, we used it for enlightenment, their end we felt was entitlement,
Never understood our demise, our futures waited in disguise, not the beginning,never reality, no clear future certainly never an end, only today never credit to pay,shove it aside, take it in stride, when we can't make it, play along never admit to wrong,a passion to stay to really really play.
A flashback to our futures sometimes reminds of our waste,do we stop the denial live without amending our minds? finding an easy way to proceed without forgetting it is all reality in the END. Peace. Rick

That seeks its regal way to bar;
Seeming with conscious power to grow,
And sweeter, purer, gladder glow.

Here is one of my poems, hope you like!:)

Why is it easy to forget, but yet hard to remember?
Why is it easy to cry, but yet hard to smile?
Why is it easy to walk away, but yet hard to say goodbye?
Can you tell me why?
Why is it easy to put one down, but yet hard to impress?
Why is it easy to die, but yet hard to live?
Why is it easy to be numb, but yet hard to be happy?
Can you tell me why?
Why is it easy to say I hate you, but yet hard to say I love you?
Why is it easy to say sorry, but yet hard to forgive?
Why is it easy to be hurt, but yet easy to put on a fake face?
Can you tell me why?

Here I am Satan's child
born of evil thus defiled
cast from heaven
here on earth
I must prove to God my worth
Do good deeds to lift me up
please Lord let me fill your cup
Through the days I'll live for you
until the time my life is through
Please Lord don't leave me hoping
accept me with your arms wide open

I was asleep while you were dying.
It’s as if you slipped through some rift, a hollow
I make between my slumber and my waking,
the Erebus I keep you in, still trying
not to let go. You’ll be dead again tomorrow,
but in dreams you live. So I try taking
you back into morning. Sleep-heavy, turning,
my eyes open, I find you do not follow.
Again and again, this constant forsaking.

Again and again, this constant forsaking:
my eyes open, I find you do not follow.
You back into morning, sleep-heavy, turning.
But in dreams you live. So I try taking,
not to let go. You’ll be dead again tomorrow.
The Erebus I keep you in—still, trying—
I make between my slumber and my waking.
It’s as if you slipped through some rift, a hollow.
I was asleep while you were dying.
It' is a beautifully expressed poem,

I think this poem is called 'Myth'

TIME / REVOLUTIONS

Time is so much more than 24hrs.An endless repetition of breaths,moments,minutes,hrs,su ­nrises& sunsets ,The thoughts the dreams some smiles some schemes,You say they say, we stay we stray,it never forgets,The infants the seedlings a core or a crust.starting or stopping negative & positive we ponder or play,Continuous motion,goodness & greatness moving & making,reality or faking,A universe a space a globe some land,is it endless or easy to understand, revolutions are endless,my mind or TIME Rick
